CERAMIC COATING myths | The truth about CERAMIC COATINGS

Alright, welcome back to our fourth installment of our

ceramic

tile video series. In this video we are going to talk about the

myths

about

ceramic

coating

s. Jason's detailed advice. There are some coding companies that have an As Seen on TV type marketing campaign that can leave consumers with a twisted idea of ​​what a

coating

really is and its limitations. Below I will explain exactly what a coating is and, more importantly, what a coating is not. My goal with this video is to give you the information so you can have realistic expectations about what ceramic coating is and how it works.

It will give you the right information so you can make a good decision when choosing a coating for your car. Well, myth number one, I won't have to. I washed my car right after one of the first

coatings

we did, a customer asked us very calmly and seriously if it's true. I will never have to wash my car again. It definitely took me by surprise. The

coatings

definitely make the car and vehicle much easier to wash. It will certainly stay cleaner longer, but your car will still get dirty even with the coating. Myth number two is that coatings are permanent.

If you do enough research on ceramic coatings, you will find information that tells you that the coating forms a permanent bond with the clear coat. My problem with this one is the word permanent, which leads you to believe that once you have this coating on your vehicle, it will be there forever. This is simply not true, if you wish, you may think. On that note, you can put wax on a car, leave it for five years in a climate-controlled garage, put a bubble around it and come back, the wax will still be on that surface after five years and you can technically tell.

It actually lasted five years, washing a car, the sun, the salt, the dirt, all the environmental consequences are constantly breaking down the protection of the vehicle, nothing is permanent, the paint under the coating is not permanent and everything on this earth has a life expectancy and will break down. Over time take a closer look at your warranties, they are also riddled with holes and fine print including a number of things that will void your warranty. Myth number three is that coatings will peel off when they begin to fail, a coating forms an incredibly strong thin layer. sticks on top of the clear coat, people think that when it fails, it will fail like a clear coat separating from the base coat, when a coat fails, just like when wax fails, you won't see it peeling, It simply wears out and you will only find that the hitting and dirt removal qualities are poor.

There's also no need to worry if you get a stone chip. There is no risk of the entire coating being compromised. Coating myth number four is that coatings are scratch-proof. This is the biggest myth. In ceramic coatings, if you apply a coating to your vehicle, you will no longer have to worry about scratches. You'll see a lot of this on ceramic tile websites stating that their product is scratch resistant. Don't confuse this with scratch proof now. Detailers and consumers will often view scratches differently. I see it every day, where a customer will believe that their paint is not scratched;

He may be looking at you in the garage or he may be looking in a shady area, but many times you won't see him. The true condition of your vehicle's paint, unless it is in direct sunlight or has an inspection light. Deep scratches are easy to see whether you are in the shade or not, but smaller scratches are those that can be seen in direct sunlight. Swirl Marks The very small scratches in the paint that you see will form a spider web-like pattern and dull the reflected light coming off the surface. These fine scratches appear every time you touch the vehicle's paint when properly washed dirty towels brushes dirt or salt gets trapped between the towels or gloves touching a dirty car brushing the paint as you walk by there are hundreds of ways the vehicle could develop scuff marks. dirt.

Ceramic coatings offer tough protection and will help prevent some of this damage and swirls, but ceramic coatings are not scratch proof. It only takes one bad wash to leave minor scratches on your vehicle's coating. Proper maintenance and good washing techniques are vital to keeping the liner in good condition. Fortunately, the coating offers a sacrificial layer that can be removed and reapplied as needed to protect the original paint underneath.
